Has anyone in your family ever served in the military? Do you remember who they were? Each year in December, an attempt is made by Wreaths Across America to remember and honor as many veterans as possible by placing a wreath on their graves. This year, the date for Wreaths Across America will be Dec. 14, 2024. All across the United States on that date, wreaths will be placed on the graves of veterans.
In years past, Oceana County’s local DAR chapter has sent representatives to various military cemeteries to join with others across the state in placing wreaths on graves of those who served. This year, however, Michigan Dunes Chapter, NSDAR has chosen to place the wreaths on the graves of local veterans who are in the Pentwater Cemetery. Along with the Friends of the Pentwater Cemetery and the VFW, plans are being made to place wreaths on nearly 300 veterans’ graves right here in our own cemetery.
In order to make this event a success, support is needed for Wreaths Across America by purchasing one or more wreaths. The wreaths will be delivered to Pentwater, and then, on Dec. 14, they will be placed on local veterans’ graves.
Visit www.wreathsacrossamerica.org/M... to make a donation online to help them to reach their goal in order to honor all veterans in the Pentwater Cemetery.
This project is sponsored by Michigan Dunes Chapter, NSDAR and Friends of the Pentwater Cemetery.
